Kickstarter, is there anything it can't do? Some may remember that Sandy Petersen, gentleman, scholar, big time game creator and T-Fest host, had earlier this year launched a sadly failed Kickstarter for a proposed electronic Cthulhu game. When that didn't come off as they had hoped, Sandy and his compatriots decided to take the…
